Re: WARNING! RAMBLE ALERT! : Wed Mar 22, 2023 8:13 pm  
Attendances
Super League is looking fairly healthy this season. Saints, Wigan, Leeds and Warrington are pulling in 10K+.
The middle tier appears to be Hull FC, Hull KR, Salford, Catalans, Castleford and Leigh.
The bargain basement appears to be Wakey and Huddersfield. Wakefield are getting just above 4K and Bardford in the Championship are just below 4K. Any team in the Championship is going to suffer from poor attendances and as a consequence will score less favourably than a Super League team according to the IMG rating system. Less bodies through the turnstiles will affect Social Media viewings. As Bongser stated if you employ the bots, you can cheat the Social Media figures.

Leigh will hopefully benefit from 2 out of the 3 seasons under consideration being in Super League. A sample for 2020 - 2022 done by a Yorkshire Live put Toulouse in 12th and Leigh in 13th. 2021 - 2023 would no doubt place Leigh higher up the table.

DB is pulling out the stops with entertainment at Home games planned to continue, until he gets bored or cost prohibitive. Just wait until the entertainment is Rick Astley followed by Chesney Hawkes.

Not sure we are going to see 10K+ for some time yet, unless DB is planning to get Elton John to return to the LSV.

Bongser seems to recall seeing video of a recent interview with Derek wherein the interviewee said that when Leigh were still in SL at the end of the season he dreamed of having Elton back on the pitch singing "I'm Still Standing."

Let's hope that happens for two reasons. :ROCKS:

When IMG are looking at attendances for clubs, I think the club should have their away following considered too. It’s all well and good having 7,000 plus at home and a taxi full away. Some clubs have a good core of away fans, so should be rewarded as so.

This would be detrimental to Toulouse and Catalans.

It sure would, however would have a truer reflection on what value they bring. All teams from UK take far more away support than the opposite way.
